Brendan starts with ... "Carmen-Hass (A) This is the hottest new sport of the popular commercial Hass. Apparently one tree in a Hass orchard in Mexico started flowering 3 times per year. A normal Hass blooms once in spring and is harvested the following year from late spring to early fall. The odd tree, now known as Carmen-Hass, blooms in spring, summer, and fall with corresponding crops. A mature tree can be harvested pretty much the entire year! Interestingly, the shape of the fruit is influenced by the bloom period. Spring bloom creates the typical pear-shaped fruit. Later blooms create rounded fruit. Carmen-Hass trees can grow tall and wide if allowed. This may be the only Avocado tree your garden needs! Wonder if Daleys will have this variety one day? :-) Anyone else know of this? | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 20th September 2013 7:55am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... It seems that Carmen Hass is grown by ANFIC https://anfic.com.au/variety/carmen-mendez/ It would be good to find out if the trees are in commercial orchards, and if the fruit is available in shops, maybe as early Hass ?? | About the Author jakfruit etiquette ,, 12th May 2020 8:26pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

davewastech1 says... Hi guys, Has there been any progress on Carmen avos in Aus yet? A Carmen sounds like the perfect fit to allow us to eat good tasting home-grown avos for much of the year. Seems like trees have been grown to supply commercial orchards on a small scale in Aus for a long time now (I think I read somewhere since 2010?) Thanks for any info, Dave | About the Author davewastech1 WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 12th October 2023 11:24pm #UserID: 21898 Posts: 34 View All davewastech1's Edible Fruit Trees |
